((1280-4119) These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will be fully apparent from the following dement over a ground surface,

FIGURE 2 is a position of the golf club cart in a rest condition,

FIGURE 3 is an elevational View of the cart as Viewed at right angles to FIGURE 2,

FIGURE 4 is a view on an the line 4-4 of FIGURE 3,

FIGURE 5 is a top plan view with the handle in folded condition,

FIGURE 6 is a view taken on the line 6 6 of FIG- URE 4,

FIGURE 7 is a fragmentary sectional view of the assembly shown in FIGURE 4,

FIGURE 8 is a View taken on the line 8-8 of FIG- URE 7, Y

FIGURE 9 is a View on an enlarged scale, taken on the line 9-9 of FIGURE 4, and

FIGURE 10 is a view taken on the line 10-10 of FIGURE 4.

Referring in detail .to the drawings, in which like numerals indicate like parts throughout the several views,

enlarged scale, taken on and 14 on the end portions thereof.

Rising from .the axle 10 is an upright body 16 fabricated of a plurality of high points 3,081,108 Patented Mar. 12, 1963 the adjacent sheet 18.

Below the box 54 and midway of the sheet 18 is a support member 60 having one end pivotally connected by a pin '62 to a U-shaped bracket 64 for swinging move- The bracket 64 is secured by rivets 66 to the sheet 18, as shown most clearly in FIGURE 7.

The support member 60 is provided with a slot 68 receiving the pin 62 and with a pin 70 which is received in a notch 72 provided in the legs of the bracket 64.

A rubber or plastic cup 74 is carried on the end of the support member 60 remote from the bracket 64.

When the support member 60 is in the swung upwardly wardly and held by the bracket 78.

Golf clubs as at 88 in FIGURE 3, are disposed with their shanks received in the spaces provided between the bowed portions of the sheets 18, 20, 22, and 24 with their free ends resting upon the adjacent bars 82, 84, or 86, as the case may be.
